CATARRH
Noun. Early 16th century.
[French catarrhe from late Latin catarrhus from Greek katarrhous,
from katarrhein run down, formed as CATA- + rhein flow.]
1 (An) excessive discharge of mucus from inflamed membranes, especially in the nose and throat;
(an) inflammation producing this. E16
2 obsolete. Cerebral effusion or haemorrhage; apoplexy. M16-E18
Also:
catarrhal adj. of the nature of, involving, pertaining to, or affected with catarrh. M17
catarrhous adj. = CATARRHAL. L16
Catarrh means 'flowing down', which is aptly disgusting, and also sounds a lot like guitar, which is confusing, and often left me wondering why my parents kept saying they had to do something about my brother's guitar. Still, it was the same snotty brother that threatened me with the bogey man, a catarrh-constructed phantom that subsequently haunted me for much of my childhood. So good; I hope they did do something about his guitar; serves him right.

Catarrh was originally a Flemish word.

ReplyDeleteAlthough my area of expertise is in the Internet Marketing niche, as I was writing this article, I noticed the information would also work for traditional start up businesses as well. You will notice there are no references to Internet Marketing, etc. This is because I also wanted to share this information with anyone who is planning on starting a "traditional, brick and mortar" business. But the information contained here also applies to my friends who opt to go with the trend of online marketing as well. In this article, we focus on the initial planning steps of getting your business up and ready to open. bookkeeping and accounting
